Any suggestions for a 1200 that plays every DVD I throw at it and not a single Blu-ray? I've already cleaned the laser and used compressed air inside with no luck. Even tried downgrading the firmware...still nothing.

The most straightforward approach would seem to be to install firmware 2.5, and then try one of the blu-ray discs on cash70's list that has been identified as playing with firmware 2.5. If that doesn't work, I'd say you have a faulty unit.

Probably defective but clearing the memory might work. Simply press and hold down on the FF button on the player itself (not the remote) for 15 seconds or so. This will clear the cache. You may have to go into setup and adjust your settings as that might also return all to default.

My wife and I watched "Seven Pounds" last night with firmware 2.5 and had no problems at all. BTW, a very good movie.

It's not too bad if I know which movies don't play then just don't buy/rent them, but it's the bad feeling of having everyone sit down to watch a movie just to find out we've to call it a night

I have 2.5 and both Casino Royale and Quantum played fine... ymmv i guess...

Amen. I don't know what to think. Either DVD-video a a fluke in its robustness in a sea of crappy software and hardware, or Blu-ray is a crappiest and least stable format ever released. I will put blame on Java (I am a Java developer myself). But seriously, the more programmable features, the more chances for the system to fail. I JUST WANT TO PLAY A FREAKING MOVIE, I DON'T CARE ABOUT CRAPPY ADDONS AND FANCY MENUS!

I am on a verge to abandon the whole Blu-ray format altogether. To sell the player, to get WDHD for occasional HD titles and home videos I have, and to buy the OPPO DVD player with DVDO chip and consider it done.

Saddest thing about the 1200 is that it is not a capable anything. It stutters at chapter points with DVDs and at the same time, its BD capabilities are limited.

Oppo, at least at this point in time, seems to really care about satisfying the customer.

It's the difference between a crooked company that has the delusion that it owns you (Samsuck, who do they think they are, Microsoft?) and one that wants you to own their products (Oppo Digital).

How often do you guys clean your laser?

Recently discs have been taking multiple trys to load, some don't load, and when they do alot of freezing.

Milk was on the list of no problems, and I couldn't get it to load.

So I installed my cleaning disc, ran it.

Milk loads on first try, guess my laser was dirty.

It sounds like you really did have a dirty lens but that is probably very rare and almost never the issue causing this player's problems.

This table is intended to easily keep track of which movies play fine and those that have issues (e.g. need a firmware upgrade) with the BD-P1200. If you would like to contribute, please send me the info via PM or just post on this thread. Include any specific steps you took to get the movie to play.

This list can be used to send Samsung requests for a F/W upgrade. Without us asking them, they will never get to it. Even if you don't have the movie, please take the time to contact them through their website and let them know which movies do not play.

To contact Samsung C/S you can:

1. Call 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864)

2. Fax 973-601-6001

3. Email from their website @ http://www.samsung.com/us/info/contactus.html# (click on Blu Ray under MP3 & audio/video). You will need your player's serial number for this option.

4. Chat live with Blu-Ray Support Monday - Friday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM EST http://pages.samsung.com/us/bluraysupport/support.html

This entry will be deleted every time it is updated and reposted as a new entry to ensure the table is always near the bottom of this forum.

I went to play it for my kids and I was not able to navigate the menus. 1 and 3 work just fine. Could anyone please confirm the problem I had with Spiderman 2?

Thanks!

Plays fine here, as it did on 2.4 (per post above yours)

Thanks!

I just tried it, with firmware 2.5, and didn't have any problem either.

Great...thanks for the quick responses! I will give it a try today again.

cash70,

In your table, I think you should count as unplayable any title that does not play with the current firmware version. For example, Casino does not play with firmware version 2.5, even though it did play with at least one earlier version. Samsung shouldn't expect consumers to have to revert to earlier firmware versions to play particular blu-ray titles.

Makes sense to me. I'll go through the table and make the changes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Cash, I would like to move your list to wikipedia article, related to the BD-P1200. Do you mind?

Ladies and Gents...I could not take it anymore. I got tired of the number of freezes while watching movies, even after cleaning and trying everything else mentioned here. Today, while walking around Sams Club I noticed that they had the Sony BDP-BX1 for $227. I did some quick research online and didn't see anything that would prevent me from buying it at that price. I'll be testing it for the next few weeks to see how it works out.

I don't plan right now to hook up the BD-P1200 for the kids. Maybe I will after a few weeks without having to deal with it. But right now I don't plan to, so I will not be updating the table. If anyone would like to continue the project just let me know and I can send you the word document. Or I can just post it here if that works best.

I have the BDP-BX1, it is the same as the BDP-S350 with a backlighted remote. It is so much better than the BD-P1200, you will be glad to have the BD-P1200 behind you.

My Sammy 1200 has never had a problem with dvd, and in fact does them very, very nice. So I will be happy to have it in a secondary location of the house for doing dvd-only duty.
